White Sox's Drew Thorpe: Builds up to five innings
Thorpe (elbow) struck out six and allowed one earned run on three hits and no walks across five innings in a rehab start Wednesday with Triple-A Charlotte.
Coming back from April 2025 Tommy John surgery, Thorpe has generally looked sharp since kicking off his rehab assignment July 18. Over stops with four different minor-league affiliates, Thorpe has strung together a 2.65 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 19:5 K:BB in 17 innings. After tossing 76 pitches in Wednesday's outing, Thorpe looks to be fully stretched out, and while the White Sox have an opening in the rotation, the right-hander may not be at the top of the list to fill the void, considering Jose Urquidy and Jonathan Cannon have both pitched well of late at Triple-A. Thorpe has minor-league options remaining, so the White Sox could stash him at Charlotte once his rehab window closes and he needs to be activated from the 60-day injured list.

White Sox's Drew Thorpe: Completes fourth rehab start
Thorpe (elbow) struck out three and allowed two runs (one earned) on three hits and three walks across four innings Wednesday in a rehab start at Double-A Birmingham.
Making the fourth start of his rehab assignment as he makes his way back from April 2025 Tommy John surgery, Thorpe built up to 68 pitches (43 strikes). Overall, Thorpe has compiled a 3.00 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 13:5 K:BB in 12 innings across stops with Birmingham, High-A Winston-Salem and the rookie-level Arizona Complex League. The right-hander could need just one more rehab outing before he's considered fully stretched out and ready to return from the 60-day injured list, but it's unclear if the White Sox plan to include him in the rotation or send him to Triple-A Charlotte once he's activated. After demoting Noah Schultz to Charlotte on Saturday, the White Sox have an opening available in the rotation, but Erick Fedde could be moved from the bullpen or Jonathan Cannon could be called up from Triple-A to fill that spot if the club isn't convinced Thorpe is ready for a big-league assignment coming off major surgery.

White Sox's Drew Thorpe: Moving rehab to Triple-A
Thorpe (elbow) will make his next rehab start with Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
Thorpe was cleared for a rehab assignment shortly after the All-Star break, and his last outing took place Thursday, when he allowed one hit while striking out five batters across four scoreless innings with Double-A Birmingham. He's in the final stages of his recovery from April 2025 Tommy John surgery, and barring any setbacks, Thorpe is on track to rejoin the White Sox in mid-August.

White Sox's Drew Thorpe: Starts up rehab assignment
Thorpe (elbow/appendectomy) struck out three and allowed one hit and no walks over two scoreless innings Saturday in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League.
Thorpe's appearance was his first at any level since July 31, 2024, as he had his rookie campaign cut short by a bone spur in his elbow before he had his entire 2025 season wiped out after Tommy John surgery last April. He then had his rehab program slowed down in May, when he required an emergency appendectomy. The right-hander delivered solid results to begin his rehab stint, but he's still be in line for an extended assignment. Whether there's a rotation spot available for Thorpe once he's built up could depend on how aggressive the playoff-contending White Sox are at the trade deadline.

White Sox's Drew Thorpe: Ready for rehab assignment
Thorpe (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on Saturday, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Thorpe is inching closer toward a return from the injured list, as he's now reached the final stage of his recovery from April 2025 Tommy John surgery. He'll likely need the entire 30-day rehab window to build up his pitch count and iron out his command and control before the White Sox consider him for a spot in the big-league rotation upon his activation. Thorpe has minor-league options remaining, so he could be sent to Triple-A Charlotte once reinstated if Chicago doesn't have a starting role available to him.

White Sox's Drew Thorpe: Progressing in recovery
Thorpe (elbow) threw a live bullpen Friday, MLB.com reports.
Thorpe is recovering from Tommy John surgery, and that already lengthy process was slowed when he underwent an appendectomy in late May. There's no exact timeline for Thorpe's return, but he is still expected to pitch for the White Sox sometime in 2026.

White Sox's Drew Thorpe: Slowed in recovery
Thorpe (elbow) recently underwent an appendectomy but has resumed throwing, MLB.com reports.

White Sox's Drew Thorpe: Ramping up
Thorpe (elbow) has thrown seven bullpen sessions as part of his rehab process, MLB.com reports.
Thorpe was transferred to the 60-day injured list Tuesday, but that's not an indication of the progress in his recovery from Tommy John surgery, which he underwent last spring. It's unclear when he may begin a rehab assignment, but that will likely be the next step.

White Sox's Drew Thorpe: Moved to 60-day IL
The White Sox transferred Thorpe (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.
Thorpe was expected to miss the first few months of the regular season when he landed on the IL in March, so his move to the 60-day IL doesn't affect his timeline. The 25-year-old righty is entering the late stages of his recovery from a Tommy John procedure he underwent in April 2025. However, it's unclear how far he is from beginning a rehab assignment. In the meantime, the White Sox will give his 40-man spot to Trevor Richards, who was acquired in a trade with Philadelphia on Tuesday.

White Sox's Drew Thorpe: Lands on 15-day injured list
The White Sox placed Thorpe (elbow) on the 15-day injured list Wednesday.
Thorpe had Tommy John surgery last April and encountered a setback in February when he developed tendinitis in his elbow. He's been throwing off the mound for a few weeks, however, and should be ready for a rehab assignment soon. Still, given the long layoff, Thorpe is a candidate to be shifted to the 60-day IL eventually.

White Sox's Drew Thorpe: Piling up side sessions
Thorpe (elbow) is scheduled to throw his fifth bullpen session of the spring at some point this week, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
Thorpe seems to be progressing as expected in his recovery from the Tommy John surgery he underwent April 9, 2025, but the right-hander still appears to be a likely candidate to begin the season on the 60-day injured list, should the White Sox need to open up a spot on the 40-man roster. If his elbow continues to respond well to side sessions, Thorpe could advance to throwing live batting practice within the next few weeks.

White Sox's Drew Thorpe: Throws bullpen session
Thorpe (elbow) threw a 20-pitch, all-fastball bullpen session Tuesday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
It was the first time Thorpe has thrown off the mound since he came down with tendinitis in his surgically repaired right elbow nearly a month ago. The right-hander is slated for another bullpen session as he continues to rebuild stamina. Thorpe has not pitched in a game since 2024, having missed all of the 2025 campaign following Tommy John surgery. He'll be assigned to the Triple-A Charlotte rotation once he's stretched out but is a candidate to rejoin the big-league rotation at some point in 2026 if things go well.

White Sox's Drew Thorpe: Dealing with elbow tendinitis
Thorpe has been slowed by tendinitis in his surgically repaired right elbow, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
Thorpe missed all of the 2025 season after having Tommy John surgery last March, and he's hit a speed bump in his recovery. The right-hander is not currently shut down, as he's scheduled for three flat-ground throwing sessions this week and is hopeful he's cleared to throw off a mound within the next three weeks. Thorpe still have a chance to contribute for the White Sox during the first half, but he can't afford any more setbacks.

White Sox's Drew Thorpe: Set for Tommy John surgery
Thorpe (elbow) is scheduled to undergo Tommy John surgery in the near future, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
Thorpe was pulled from his appearance in a minor-league game Thursday due to elbow soreness -- one of multiple setbacks he's had since undergoing surgery in September to remove a bone spur. He's now set to go under the knife again, though this time around he'll be forced to miss the entire 2025 season and likely at least the early part of the 2026 campaign.

Thorpe has encountered multiple setbacks since he had surgery last September to remove a bone spur from the elbow. More will be known once the right-hander's test results are in, but Thorpe could be looking at an extended absence.

White Sox's Drew Thorpe: Progressing to live BP
Thorpe (elbow) will begin throwing live batting practice Tuesday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
Thorpe has been throwing bullpen sessions since mid-February, and he has now officially been cleared to face live hitters. The plan is for him to throw several rounds of live BP before getting into a routine of throwing every five days. Assuming all goes well, he'll then begin a rehab assignment with one of the White Sox's minor-league affiliates.
